    The perpetual search for coherence in narratives that are basically fictional is a signal of worthless journalism.

    The right and the Republicans have used this nonsense fiscal conservatism narrative as a cudgel for decades, while doing precisely the opposite. To engage with them seriously as if their words have merit makes you either a) a useful idiot, or b) controlled opposition, if not an outright cheerleader.

    We should give the rich few more trillion dollars for their fearless leadership. They deserve it more than the stupid peasants who spend on smokes and booze anyway. Prolly lotto tickets.
